KidsPeace Believes In:
Safety
Safety is a primary need and fundamental right of every kid. America’s future depends upon emotionally healthy and physically safe children. Every American – especially teachers, counselors and children’s group leaders – share a unique responsibility to positively nurture, respect and safeguard children.
Dignity
Every kid is unique and has worth and value.
Relationships and Belonging
Kids grow in the context of supportive relationships. Kids are helped most by people closest to them. Mothers and fathers are the single most powerful support system for kids.
Empowerment
Every kid has powerful potential.
Help for kids facing crisis must be available anytime, anywhere.
Character
Kids learn by making decisions and taking action based upon values.
Helping kids anticipate and overcome crisis is a moral imperative and a wise investment of resources.
Transformation
Kids discover strengths through choice, risk, failure, insight and success.
Every American has a moral obligation to protect and support children as they discover their strengths and transform into healthy adults.
KidsPeace Model of Care
All kids need confidence to overcome crisis. The KidsPeace Model of Care is designed to encourage a process of life-long learning for kids; to help kids value themselves, to find a vision for their future and to think, act and make the most of every opportunity.
The KidsPeace Model of Care is a clear, compelling statement of the KidsPeace beliefs and principles that form the foundation of our care and treatment of children, youth and families. It is based on research and practical experience and provides a description to our customers, to the profession and to the community at large of the beliefs and thinking that are the framework, guideline and measurement for all programs and services.
The KidsPeace Model of Care is...
Aligned: building upon and integrated into the KidsPeace platform statement.
Value-driven: describing the goals of our service as the outcome of our beliefs.
Kid-centered: placing kids as central to all programs and participation in organizational life and responsibility.
Strength-based: recognizing the strengths and potential of youth rather than their deficits, and empowering competent development by kids.
Peer-related: developing relationships of the individual to the peer group, which is crucial to growth toward independent and successful living.
